NEW: Over 225,000 students across all demographics and school districts in grades 3-8 refused to take part in New York State's 2017 Common Core assessments. This fall, parents and students will continue to reject test-prep driven education by submitting their refusal letters on the first day of school. ​(based on 1.2 million students eligible to sit for the tests)
